What science did the Greek philosopher Aristotle
consider to be the most important?
2
Political Science. Aristotle commented: “It [Political
Science] would seem to belong to the most
authoritative art and that which is most truly the master
art….politics ….is that which ordains which of the
sciences should be studied in a state, and which each
class of citizens should learn and up to what point they
should learn them…”
3
---Nicomachean Ethics
Aristotle was commenting that political science is the most important of the arts
because it enables all other activities to take place , or to not take place, in a
country. In North Korea, as you saw in the video, citizens aren’t allowed to choose
where they live. Rather the Communist Party does. North Korea’s standard of
living is also much lower than what many Americans are accustomed to.

There are many other examples of how important
government is to ordinary people’s lives. In Saudi

...family-owned hotel here in Indiana. We then moved here, and he held that job for about 8 years. Inevitably I worked there myself at one point, early in my freshman year here at Carmel HS. The hotel was in a rougher part of Westfield, and it was economically lagging itself. It was robbed a few times as well. During my tenure there, my dad was stringent about one rule -- the TV must be always on a news channel.
If you’re like me, and you find yourself trapped in an empty hotel for 8 hours with nothing but the news to watch, you will eventually concede and start actually paying attention to it for some “entertainment”. I eventually kept saying the same thing to myself; “This part of the city, this hotel, and those robbers would be all in better conditions not just economically but generally, if our elected officials (at the state and federal levels) didn’t always spend their time arguing or campaigning, but actually trying to work together to make life better for the citizens of the United States” (REWORD).
The more I developed opinions, the more I really looked forward to working shifts there -- it was a place to sit down and watch the news, once a week. To get involved in the government, through knowledge and awareness.
By June 2012, the hotel was set to be shut down and demolished by the state in pursuit of a massive highway reconstruction project on US-31. Walking out of the doors for the last time in 8...

CROSS-BORDER ALLIANCES AND STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
Opening Profile: The Daimler-Chrysler AG Global Alliance
The $92 billion merger of Daimler-Benz and Chrysler to form Daimler-Chrysler Akteingesellschaft represents a triumph of the global economy and the end of car companies as national emblems of industrial might. The two CEOs announced that they expect immediate growth opportunities by using each other’s facilities, capacities, and infrastructure. DaimlerChrysler expects to realize benefits of DM 2.5bn ($1.4bn) through the exchange of components and technologies, combined purchasing power, and shared distribution logistics. They expect further synergies to accrue by sharing know-how in engineering and manufacturing.
Implementing the merger will be no picnic. These are two giant industrial companies with a total of 421,000 employees. The senior management will have 18 members drawn from both companies.
